Donnelly Opposes Sprinkling Of All Streets In Second District
Collector John M. Donnelly led opposition at the Common Council hearing last night against sprinkling all streets in the Second district. He argued the plan would raise taxes and violate the charter, noting a petition must come from abutting owners by December 15 and be acted on by the council. Several residents urged against extra taxes, citing a 20 year water contract and burdens on those unable to pay rent.
